Businesses like car washes and truck garages use trenches or pits to collect the debris that falls from vehicles. It is important to maintain them to ensure a smooth running system that does its job right.
How Does the Trench or Pit Work?
Trenches or pits run through the center of a car wash or truck garage. Here’s the process in four simple steps:
- When a car is washed, the wastewater flows down into the trench.
- The trench allows water to flow to the oil-water separator, while collecting and holding debris like mud, gravel, and grit to prevent it from moving forward.
- As the sludge collects overtime, it needs to be removed or clogs may cause backups.
- While some businesses remove the sludge with shovels, there are better methods to cleaning and clearing the trench or pit.
